sink, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, and the like.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

in the “Caring for Your Microwave Oven”
section.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on top of
the microwave oven when the micro-
wave oven is in operation.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
Do not use the cavity for storage pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.

electric cooking equipment.

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.
Use care when cleaning the vent-hood
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
lye-based oven cleaners, may damage
the filter.
